What’s New on BritBox September 2017: Classic ‘Doctor Who,’ ‘Cold Feet,’ And More

You know the saying “Once you go British you never go back?” Okay, that’s not actually a real saying, but after checking out BritBox‘s September offerings, you may be ready to ditch American streaming options for good. The digital streaming service from BBC Worldwide and ITV, two of Britain’s top channels, offers subscribers a chance to view British classics as well as current movies and TV shows that aren’t available on other platforms in the U.S.

In September, Doctor Who fans will be treated to a new addition to BritBox’s extensive collection: Doctor Who: Power of the Daleks, a story in the series that was previously thought to be lost forever. BritBox will also be featuring the US exclusive premieres of dark comedy Cold Feet and the long-running reality series Strictly Come Dancing. And for fans of BBC’s Poldark, you can watch Poldark: The Movie, a TV movie that picks up where the acclaimed 1970s UK series leaves off.

For only $6.99 a month, you can check out all of this content and more. Here’s what else is coming to BritBox this month, complete with BritBox’s info on each upcoming release:
